Areas of POLPX's activity Financial market

Financial market

In 2015, POLPX plans to launch a financial market and offer futures contracts for electricity price index (financial contracts settled in cash). • Futures contracts as a tool for electricity price hedging • Futures are an easier and more flexible instrument to manage – market participants

want to hedge the purchase price in the first place, without a commitment as to the volume position

Motivation for transacting in the market: • Hedging, arbitrage and speculation • Plans to introduce new gas-based contracts and other commodity products in the

future: Motivation for launching the financial market: • Respond to the expectations of POLPX members, investors, customers and financial

institutions • Strengthen the position of POLPX in the region, a natural complement to the current

product offering ­ the POLPX's Commodity Forward Instruments Market is the second largest market in Europe

• Attract new players from the finance industry, investors – Members of the Financial Instruments Market (FIM): investment companies (brokerage houses/banks – domestic and foreign) and energy companies

Legal procedure – time schedule

1. On 17 March 2014, POLPX submitted an application to the Ministry of Finance to

obtain a permit to operate an exchange within the meaning of the Act of 29 July 2005 on Trading in Financial Instruments

2. Currently, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) is carrying out administrative proceedings concerning the above-mentioned application (extended until 20 July)

3. Decision of the Minister of Finance 4. Consultations with market participants (contracts/principles, quotations/market

makers recruitment) 5. Definition of the contract standard (resolution of the POLPX Management board) and

drafting of the Trading Terms 6. Application to PFSA for approval of the Trading Terms 7. PFSA decision 8. Launch of trading – 1st step of the implementation of a new trading system at POLPX Final date of market launch depends on:

Granting of necessary licence by the MoF Approval of the Trading Terms

Implementation of 1st part of the new trading system

FIM development prospects

The majority of the Scandinavian market participants confirm (according to a survey carried out by regulators from the Nordic countries) that attractive options for hedging the future price on the financial market encourage them to increase the spot market volumes instead of taking long-term volume positions.

The market for electricity-based financial instruments trades 4 to 6 times the consumption volume in the Nordic countries.

In Scandinavian countries, the spot market accounts, on average, for 70% of the electricity consumption in this area.

FIM development prospects, continued • As a next step, the trading in the following instruments will be launched:

gas futures

green certificate futures

• POLPX will present the financial market implementation plans after their acceptance by the PFSA and consultations with market participants.
